As a VP Eng who has made the call on Google vs AWS on a few occasions this has certainly affected my thinking. I see Amazon's web services being a big part of Amazon's revenue and I feel comfortable they are in it for the long haul, whereas I see that Google doesn't even call out its cloud service revenue[1] which suggests it isn't notable. And services with that sort of profile from Google end up dead because Google just doesn't seem able to commit to long term strategic visions.
